The Runaway Stabilizer checklist of the AFM is used when there is undesired movement of the airplane’s horizontal stabilizer. The FAA proposes revisions to the criteria for this checklist’s use, to include when uncommanded horizontal stabilizer movement occurs continuously or in a manner not appropriate for current flight conditions. The revised checklist would include an explicit recall item that instructs the flightcrew to use their thumb-actuated trim switch to reduce forces on the control column. The checklist would also include a recall item to use the control column and thrust levers to control the airplane’s pitch attitude and airspeed. Finally, the checklist would be revised to add a reference item to manually trim the horizontal stabilizer for pitch control, and note that a two-pilot effort may be used to correct an out-of-trim condition.
Surprised they didn't go as far as to recommend that a flight attendant be called to the cockpit as well. Did Dickson try out this procedure on his test flight does anyone know? What a mess.
